Lyrics and translation The Bens - Just Pretend (Live At Palais Theatre, Melbourne, Australia, 3/24/03)
Well,
I
held
you
with
our
undry
eyes,
Eh
bien,
je
t'ai
tenue
avec
nos
yeux
humides,
Happy
years
pass
by,
Les
années
heureuses
passent,
It's
okay
to
cry.
C'est
normal
de
pleurer.
After
all,
Après
tout,
In
the
end,
Au
final,
Just
pretend.
Fais
semblant.
Well,
it's
sticks
and
stones,
Eh
bien,
ce
sont
les
coups
et
les
pierres,
And
broken
homes
Et
les
foyers
brisés
That
taught
us
how
to
smile.
Qui
nous
ont
appris
à
sourire.
After
all,
Après
tout,
In
the
end,
Au
final,
Just
pretend.
Fais
semblant.
There's
a
name
that
plays
Il
y
a
un
nom
qui
joue
In
my
head
all
day
long,
Dans
ma
tête
toute
la
journée,
Like
a
song,
she's
with
me
every
day.
Comme
une
chanson,
elle
est
avec
moi
tous
les
jours.
After
all,
Après
tout,
In
the
end,
Au
final,
Just
pretend.
Fais
semblant.
Everyone
needs...
Tout
le
monde
a
besoin...
Everyone
needs...
Tout
le
monde
a
besoin...
Everyone
needs...
Tout
le
monde
a
besoin...
If
the
sun
can't
shine,
Si
le
soleil
ne
peut
pas
briller,
You'll
be
just
fine.
Tu
iras
bien.
Look
into
your
mind,
Regarde
dans
ton
esprit,
Where
you're
free.
Où
tu
es
libre.
After
all,
Après
tout,
In
the
end,
Au
final,
Just
pretend.
Fais
semblant.
'Cause
we
hurt
each
other
once
before,
Parce
qu'on
s'est
déjà
fait
du
mal
auparavant,
Let's
not
do
that
again.
Ne
recommençons
pas.
After
all,
Après
tout,
In
the
end,
Au
final,
Just
pretend.
Fais
semblant.
And
a
voice,
so
familiar
Et
une
voix,
si
familière
Wakes
me
up
in
the
middle,
Me
réveille
au
milieu
de
la
nuit,
She
thinks
that
I'm
havin'
a
bad
dream.
Elle
pense
que
je
fais
un
mauvais
rêve.
After
all,
Après
tout,
In
the
end,
Au
final,
Just
pretend.
Fais
semblant.
Everyone
needs...
Tout
le
monde
a
besoin...
Everyone
needs...
Tout
le
monde
a
besoin...
Everyone
needs...
Tout
le
monde
a
besoin...
After
all,
Après
tout,
It's
the
end...
C'est
la
fin...
